Does anyone know who might be able to replace bearings for a Macdonald reel?

Thanks in advance.

Not knowing the makeup of a Macdonald reel, if you can remove the bearings yourself, take them down to BC Bearing on Annacis Island and they can measure and order you a new set.  You will be able to pretty much order whatever you want provided they can find a fit. You might be able to get sealed ceramic ABEC 7 bearings to fit!

Thanks, so much for the help and suggestions. I will look into all of them when I am back in the early spring for the shows.
